ticle is nice there is also a maimon conference in august the details of which you can find here happy som posted by gabriel gottlieb at 4 13 pm no comments labels blog notes maimon monday june 14 2010 hegelian analysis of the tea party jay bernstein who is at the new school for social research and was my dissertation adviser has published in the ny times an interesting analysis of the motivations behind the tea party the piece is really a hegelian analysis of the underlying anger motivating the tea party why are they so angry check it out here are some highlights my hypothesis is that what all the events precipitating the tea party movement share is that they demonstrated emphatically and unconditionally the depths of the absolute dependence of us all on government action and in so doing they undermined the deeply held fiction of individual autonomy and self sufficiency that are intrinsic parts of americans collective self understanding tea party anger is at bottom metaphysical not political what has been undone by the economic crisis is the belief that each individual is metaphysically self sufficient that one s very standing and being as a rational agent owes nothing to other individuals or institutions the opposing metaphysical claim the one i take to be true is that the very idea of the autonomous subject is an institution an artifact created by the practices of modern life the intimate family the market economy the liberal state each of these social arrangements articulate and express the value and the authority of the individual they give to the individual a standing she would not have without them the issue here is a central one in modern philosophy is individual autonomy an irreducible metaphysical given or a social creation descartes famously argued that self or subject the i think was metaphysically basic while hegel argued that we only become self determining agents through being recognized as such by others who we recognize in turn it is by recognizing one another as autonomous subjects through the institutions of family civil society and the state that we become such subjects those practices are how we recognize and so bestow on one another the title and powers of being free individuals all the heavy lifting in hegel s account turns on revealing how human subjectivity only emerges through intersubjective relations and hence how practices of independence of freedom and autonomy are held in place and made possible by complementary structures of dependence at one point in his philosophy of right hegel suggests love or friendship as models of freedom through recognition in love i regard you as of such value and importance that i spontaneously set aside my egoistic desires and interests and align them with yours your ends are my desires i desire that you flourish and when you flourish i do too in love i experience you not as a limit or restriction on my freedom but as what makes it possible i can only be truly free and so truly independent in being harmoniously joined with you we each recognize the other as endowing our life with meaning and value with living freedom hegel s phrase for this felicitous state is to be with oneself in the other hegel s thesis is that all social life is structurally akin to the conditions of love and friendship we are all bound to one another as firmly as lovers are with the terrible reminder that the ways of love are harsh unpredictable and changeable and here is the source of the great anger because you are the source of my being when our love goes bad i am suddenly absolutely dependent on someone for whom i no longer count and who i no longer know how to count i am exposed vulnerable needy unanchored and without resource in fury i lash out i deny that you are my end and my satisfaction in rage i claim that i can manage without you that i can be a full person free and self moving without you i am everything and you are nothing this is the rage and anger i hear in the tea party movement it is the sound of jilted lovers furious that the other the anonymous blob called simply government has suddenly let them down suddenly made clear that they are dependent and limited beings suddenly revealed them as vulnerable and just as in love the one sided reminder of dependence is experienced as an injury all the rhetoric of self sufficiency all the grand talk of wanting to be left alone is just the hollow insistence of the bereft lover that she can and will survive without her beloved however in political life unlike love there are no second marriages we have only the one partner and although we can rework our relationship nothing can remove the actuality of dependence that is permanent many philosophy blogs were irritated by simon critchley s inaugural post on the ny times the stone but it looks as if the blog is heading in the right direction now with bernstein s post and posts by other philosophers like peter singer nancy sherman and arthur danto posted by gabriel gottlieb at 6 54 am no comments labels blog notes hegel thursday june 10 2010 new kant journal there is a new kant journal kant studies online which is peer reviewed and open access here are the details kant studies online publishes articles written in english on all aspects of kant s works including historically informed studies applications of kantian thought to contemporary problems the relationship between kantian and neo kantian thinking and detailed scholarly works on interpretation of kant s works it will also include review articles of secondary works on kant an issue of the journal will be deemed to exist whenever an accepted article is published the journal is edited by gary banham in association with an editorial board and is published in the spirit of the open access movement whilst its target audience is academic philosophers and students it aims to attract non academic readers by making all its material freely available without restriction this is a promising development for kant scholarship i imagine as more journals are online and open access like philosophers imprint they will gain a larger following more esteem and publish better scholarship four kant journals come to mind that publish in english kantian review kant studien the kant yearbook and now kant studies online am i missing any posted by gabriel

gabriel gottlieb at 4 23 pm no comments labels fichte tuesday may 4 2010 define self positing i m defending my dissertation this friday and have been reading through it i ve always struggled with defining fichte s conception of self positing here is what i say it is at one point self positing is the very activity in which the i is constituted as an i by virtue of reflexively self reverting into itself so to immediately become intuitively aware of its own reflexive activity involved in the self ascription of representations in judgment this account is defended by a good bit of interpretation and argumentation or so i d like to think i m curious how others might define self positing give it a shot in the comments if you dare posted by gabriel gottlieb at 12 25 pm 3 comments

department at bonn university is pleased to announce the first annual international summer school in german philosophy this year s topic is transcendental ontology and issues in epistemology in post kantian idealism professor markus gabriel bonn university will organize and teach the seminar with professors paul franks university of toronto and espen hammer temple university giving keynote addresses one of the aims of the summer school is to argue that the thinkers of post kantian idealism defend a new ontology one which lays out the conditions of possibility for transcendental higher order thought despite kant s negative verdict on ontology these conditions appear precisely ontological as soon as the existence of the alleged transcendental subject is confirmed since the world cannot be reduced to a strictly external world in the cartesian sense the conditions of possibility for referring to determinate objects in the world come to be conceived as themselves determinate objects in the world with this re evaluation of the status of ontology in mind we will read key texts by kant fichte schelling and hegel with specific attention to the relation between epistemology and ontology through this ontologized reading we will attend to certain essential claims of each thinker hegel s thinking not only substance as subject but the subject as substance the later fichte s re introducing the notion of being into his wissenschaftslehre and finally schelling s ontology of ground existence and the will in his freiheitsschrift and weltalter the summer school will be organized seminar style emphasizing group discussion and close readings of key texts of german idealism kant fichte schelling and hegel the summer school will run june 14 25 2010 and all discussions
